Barney At The Beach on Cake Central

My son's 1st birthday cake. He loves Barney and fish/water. It's a 12in white cake with pineapple filing and a 6in white cake with raspberry filing. Both covered in buttercream and crushed vanilla wafers for sand.

Very Cute! How did you get the water on the top to look like waves? I am getting ready to do a fish cake for my niece.....

Thank you! I wish I had posted more pics of the sides-that's where all the action is!lol The buttercream I use is pretty fluffy which made it easy to use the tip of my spatula to make peaks. When i made the color I didn't mix it completely so I could get some whitecaps. I put a crumb coat on before the other icing too and that seemed to make it easier. I also used a reverse shell border so it kind of looked wavy. Can't wait to see your fish!
